			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Highdeal released a Green Charging Report advising Telecom companies on how to grow their green credentials and reduce their carbon footprint, while saving money.</p>
<p>Telecom operators rightly tout the fact that by using their services customers can communicate more easily and therefore reduce the need for environmentally-costly travel. Similarly, online information and e-commerce has allowed the economy to grow while somewhat reducing the need for physical storefronts and trips to and from them. The Highdeal Green Charging Report encourages Telecom companies to <span id="more-2209"></span>go even further and to start thinking about how they can create smart pricing that encourages users to behave in ways that consume less energy and lower energy costs.</p>
<p>The report also urges operators to consider running their pricing &#038; charging solution on less power-hungry hardware. The data centers that run the OSS, BSS, and Applications consume close to a quarter of the power used on a typical incumbent operator’s infrastructure.  A simple, cost and energy efficient solution would be to implement an online charging solution that can be scaled horizontally across several smaller, more energy-efficient hardware servers. This can reduce the corresponding power and cooling requirements in the datacenter by a factor of 10.</p>
<p>“The global greenhouse gas emissions of telecom and IT systems, networks, and data centers surpassed the carbon footprint of the aviation industry for the first time in 2007.  Highdeal believes it is an opportune time to raise awareness about how our product can be used to positively influence customer behavior, lower emissions and to mitigate the effects of global warming. Companies need to start putting a price on pollution,” says Eric Pillevesse, CEO of Highdeal. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Highdeal announced that Meetic implemented Highdeal Transactive®. Meetic will use Transactive to price, rate, and charge Meetic fees and special promotions in real-time.</p>
<p>Using the same solution that delivers proven flexibility to leading businesses in industries from  telecommunications to financial services, Highdeal will soon be assisting Meetic to<span id="more-2177"></span> run its innovative  business model, allowing singles to meet and chat with other singles online. With over 42 million  registered profiles in 15 European countries and Brazil and traded on the European Stock Exchange,  Meetic is a rapidly growing enterprise that needed a fee pricing &#038; billing solution that could handle  their complex business models. Meetic required a scalable solution that could handle business  challenges, such as prepaid accounts, prorated pricing, recurring short-term and long-term contracts, countless promotions and testing of prelaunch profitability, and pricing rules that can vary depending on geography and user profile. Seeing a similarity with telecom industry business models, Meetic chose Highdeal to replace their in-house billing system based on the proven Highdeal track record within this industry and the agility and customer awareness displayed by the Highdeal team. </p>
<p>“In Highdeal we found a solution that will accelerate our ability to rapidly implement new pricing models in a very competitive market  and that ensures our revenue by managing the increasing complexity of all the current and past models that are still applicable to our active customers,” according to Olivier Siegwart, Chief Information Officer of Meetic.</p>
<p>“We are very pleased to been selected by Meetic, Europe ’s leading online dating provider. This  contract is a proud win for Highdeal. It marks our first customer in this market and is a great example of how Highdeal software solutions can manage rapidly changing business models and deliver real-time revenue management,” said Eric Lavenir, EVP Sales EMEA at Highdeal.</p>
<p><strong>About MEETIC</strong></p>
<p>MEETIC manages two online dating and matchmaking services, mainly around the meetic and Meetic Affinity brands and markets two highly complementary economic models on the dating market, one based on internet use, the other on mobile phones. MEETIC is established in 15 European countries, as well as in Latin America, and is available in 12 languages. From inception, the group has pursued a clear leadership strategy focusing on quality, innovative marketing and perfect technological expertise. MEETIC works hard to optimize service quality and to satisfy every possible expectation of its European subscribers.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>OnAir has chosen Highdeal, the world’s leading provider of Pricing &#038; Rating solutions, to manage Mobile OnAir, its mobile telephony offer aimed at airline companies. Created in 2005, OnAir is a subsidiary of Airbus and SITA, a provider of IT solutions for the transporation industry. OnAir’s services enable passengers to use their portable devices (laptops, mobile phones and PDAs) as well as the airplane’s own equipment, to communicate just as easily in the air as on the ground. <span id="more-1621"></span></p>
<p>For this project, OnAir also chose Bull to create its information systems, including billing, reconciliation functions offered by Highdeal Transactive, support for the company’s complex, business-critical processes, as well as advanced analysis and Business Intelligence functionalities.</p>
<p>In December 2007, Air France and OnAir launched the world’s first inflight mobile communication service offer. Airbus A318 passengers can now send and receive text and multimedia messages as well as emails and since April 2008, they can also make inflight phone calls.</p>
<p>Highdeal Transactive allows OnAir to manage billing as well as commissioning of its numerous partners</p>
<p>The Mobile OnAir offer is based on numerous partnerships with satellite bandwidth providers and business partners such as interconnection operators and airline companies, who are both OnAir customers and partners. The revenue generated by inflight communication is shared between the different companies involved since passengers are seen as roamers on the OnAir network and as such, their mobile phone operators must pay a roaming fee to OnAir. Highdeal Transactive is used to calculate the percentages and manage the commission owed to airline companies. The commission rules are clearly defined in the pricing plan, therefore partners can be commissioned according to usage, percentage, variations in volume or hourly time slots. Highdeal Transactive is also used for the billing of Internet Service installations, WebMail and WebChat, that are offered by OnAir for inflight access. Finally, the bandwidth service provided by Link OnAir will also be billed using the Highdeal Transactive software solution. It was Highdeal’s proven track record for managing numerous partners as well as its flexibility in defining offers in a B2B context (one per client), that convinced OnAir to go ahead with this partnership.</p>
<p>At the crossroads of the telecommunications and aeronautics industries<br />
OnAir was looking for a flexible pricing and billing solution that would allow it to manage commissions in an industry beyond the realm of ‘classic telecommunications’, given that certain calculations are based on data from the aeronautics industry. “We are extremely pleased with Bull’s services and Highdeal’s ability to adapt to our unique and fast evolving context,” said Jean-Damien Beaud, Director of OnAir’s Information Systems. “Our mobile telephony offer is at the crossroads of the telecomunications and aeronautics industries. We were quickly convinced by the different features of the Highdeal Transactive software solution as its functional coverage corresponds to our needs, particularly when calculating interconnection costs and bill-cross-referencing which are an essential part of our business,” he concluded.</p>
<p>Bull, a leading integrator of convergence technologies, has delivered a robust and innovative information system for OnAir</p>
<p>Bull has designed a robust solution capable of evolving alongside OnAir’s activities. Thanks to its sectoral expertise and knowledge of open technologies, Bull – as systems integrator and IT manufacturer – is able to bring the flexibility required by telecom operators and to build reliable ‘carrier grade’ information systems that offer a high level of service in any condition. The project includes three phases. The first phase allows OnAir to make use of Call Collect systems, reporting procedures as well as Highdeal Transactive’s billing solution. The second and third phases will provide OnAir with complementary CRM functions, bill-cross-referencing and advanced reporting.</p>
<p>“We are very proud to have been selected by OnAir for the integration of this complex and highly innovative project,” said Jean-François Leprince-Ringuet, General Manager, Bull Telecommunications and Media. “The telecommunications sector is evolving rapidly and this new service is a perfect example of new convergence applications for fixed–mobile usage. As a partner integrator of equipment manufacturers, Bull brings its IT expertise and industrial know-how to implement flexible, efficient and innovative solutions throughout the world,” he added.</p>
<p>“We are very pleased to have a customer who brings new mobile services to airplanes. OnAir is a pioneer in this field, so it was quite natural for them to opt for the highly successful Highdeal Transactive software solution,” concluded Eric Lavenir, EVP Sales EMEA for Highdeal.</p>
<p>About OnAir<br />
OnAir was incorporated in February 2005 and is owned by Airbus, the aircraft manufacturer with the most modern and comprehensive product line on the market, and SITA, the world&#8217;s leading provider of air transport focused applications, communications and IT infrastructure.</p>
<p>OnAir’s goal is to give airline passengers the ability to communicate from the sky. The OnAir service portfolio addresses passenger voice and data communications needs on both long- and short-haul flights, on commercial Airbus and Boeing aircraft, while focusing on passengers’ needs, offering choice, and ensuring an economically viable business model for airlines. OnAir is a member of the GSM Association and an Inmarsat Distribution Partner for SwiftBroadband services.</p>
